An Official Reference and not a Tutorial

There are a lot of C# books now available but they are introductions into .NET using C# or an comparation with other languages or simply a language tutorial. For an experienced developer such books are very time-consuming: He or she wants to read quickly the details about the language syntax, semantic and structure in a well-structured form.The new Microsoft book is now the answer to such developers: It is a well-structured book about all details of the language, simply to understand for any language-reference experienced reader. It contains a lot of small source examples and it is official - written by persons in or near the C# design team.The structure is enhanced by many references; unfortunately, the references have only chapter numbers and no page numbers, which reduces the reference-reading speed. And I miss an index containing all keywords, syntax description names etc. So special things are a little difficult to find. Otherwise I would give 5 stars and not only 4.The book is available with identical contents on the MSDN library April 2001 (including fast hyperlinks and full-text search), so this book is not a must for every .NET programmer but for all guys who like printed paper more than filled windows at screen.
